I was always attracted to science fiction movies.

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything... whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.

I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!

Age is no issue to me. I think 50 is the new 30 and 70 is the new 50. There are no rules that say you have to dress a certain way or be a certain way.

My legacy is that I stayed on course... from the beginning to the end, because I believed in something inside of me.

For me, art really starts with acceptance, self trust. Wherever you come to with art, it's perfect. You don't have to come with anything. What you bring to something is the art. That's where it's found. It's found within you.

The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.

Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.

I'm firmly convinced that true beauty only springs from the acceptance of oneself, from an awareness of who we really are.

If I have one wish for my birthday, it is that 35 is the end of desperation and the beginning of acceptance. Part of that is believing that if I'm meant to give birth, I will.

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.
